Holiday Re-cap

OK, here's a run-down on Turkey Day 2005.

We did ham instead of turkey at the house while we waited on the Bright House Networks guy to come fix the cable. (The line was cut on Wednesday while a worker was setting form boards for a new gate track in the back yard.) Anyway, I for one was impressed that they actually worked on a holiday, giving me something else to be thankful for!

My sister called from Charleston to let us know that they have picked a name for her baby boy, due December 10th: Charley Keith Simmons. I'm not too wild about it, as it conjures up bad memories of that hurricane from last year. But, it doesn't really matter, because I've already nicknamed him "Tater!"

After the cable guy left, we went over to visit with the Jenks family and had some great desserts. I also felt obliged to sample their TWO turkeys.

We got up this morning to drive up to Gainesville to meet Cousin Joanna and her three boys. She has been battling cancer and needed help making it all the way down to Orlando. So, of course we were glad to oblige. And, we had a mini family reunion of sorts at her mom's house. A good time was had by all!
